To guys who have taken LCI Xenons apart... what is wrong with this???

So I recently picked up a set of e90 LCI AHL Xenon BARE headlights. When I received them one looked like this. Obviously its disconnected but can it be fixed w/o taking them apart (unsealing)? Any info would help.

I want to try to fix but before I do anything I'd like to hear from someone familiar with these lights bc I can always return and get my money back.

Thanks

BTW sorry its flipped

I don't see what's wrong with it. If you bought the unit bare and assuming they're new, it means you need a ballasts, d1s bulbs, AE bulbs, and the led signal units.

From the looks of that picture it looks like the adjuster popped out of place. That white circle should get attached to something that is used to level the headlight Left-to -Right.

Yes you are correct identifying the problem. The white plastic (male) piece has popped out of the black circular (female) piece.

Can that be fixed w/o taking them apart?

The reason I ask is bc unlike most car parts this is extremely fragile and I want to be clear Im doing something that will not damage the headlight.

Kisho,

Thanks for reply. They are bare and are used. I know all the parts needed to complete. I posted my question 1 post above.
